Development of the Ohio Biodiversity Conservation Partnership (OBCP) at Ohio State University (OSU)
The Ohio Division of Wildlife has utilized State Wildlife Grant funding to develop a partnership with Ohio State University (OSU) to create the Ohio Biodiversity Conservation Partnership (OBCP). OSU faculty, graduate and undergraduate students cooperate on practical, applied research to protect and learn about the species of greatest conservation need and their habitats as defined in the Ohio Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy. This partnership allows for sharing of physical and intellectual resources between the university and the Ohio Division of Wildlife and provides access to OSU expertise for insight and consultation with wildlife biologists and managers.
